HITLER REPORTED TO FEAR
U. 8. INTERVENTION

In talks with his close advisers
recently, the President has revealed
a much more confident opinion of
[ the outcome of the war in Europe.
This conference resit partly upon
the belief that Hitler, and Nazi of-
[ ficials generally, are greatly wor-
| ried over the possible entry of the
United States into the war, and are
acquiring a genuine respect for what
the United States is accomplishing
in the way of national defense.
Hitler, Roosevelt has told his
; friends, had the greatest scorn for
I Britain under Chamberlain, and for
' France. For some time, also. Hit
ler had the same idea about the
United States. The President con
! tides that as far as he has been able
to ascertain. Hitler regarded him
just as another Chamberlain.
But now intelligence reports from

of this psychological factor, and be
lieves that sending every possible
aid to Britain, short of war, will help
to do it. He believes this can be
done without getting into war,
though he acknowledges privately
that it carries risks.
Most risky American project would
be to convoy merchant ships across
the Atlantic, and so far Roosevelt
has refused to commit himself,
though this is what the British need
most desperately. However, some
of his advisers continue to be strong
ly for it, and believe they have made
a dent on the President.
What they argue is this:
The
United States cannot be attacked as
long as the war continues to rage in
Europe and the British fleet remains
afloat. Therefore, since we cannot
be attacked, we can get into the
war to any degree we like—without
sending an expeditionary force.
Should Germany declare war on
the United States, these Roosevelt
advisprs urge, we can merely con
tinue with our present support to
Britain.
Business would proceed
about as -usual, since the Nazis
would be powerless to cross the At
lantic to attack the United States—
at least until Great Britain fails. Up
until that time, they figure that de
claring war on the United States
would be about the last thing the
Nazis could do.

No public appearance of the Pres
ident receives more elaborate ad
vance precautions than when he
makes a speech or attends a dinner
in a hotel. Secret Service men vir
tually turn the place inside out.
If you should happen to be regis
tered at the hotel, the Secret Service
men will find out all about you, your
business in the city, where you came
from and where you are going.
Here is the procedure for guarding
the President when he arrives:
The day before he is to appear.
White House Secret Service Chief
Edmund W. Starling carefully in
spects every foot of the route
through the hotel and the chamber
used for the meeting.
Next the
guest register is inspected.
All
guests whom hotel officials can’t
vouch for personally are quietly
checked up by Starling's men. In
addition, the management must sub
mit complete information about all
employees.
If the President is attending a
dinner, and extra waiters are need
ed, Secret Service agents get a
“line” on the ones employed.
Sleuths, dressed as guests, are stra
tegically posted all over the banquet
hall. When the President enters and
leaves an ‘•invisible” cordon of
guards surrounds him. Nothing is
left to chance.
